Taking the field in Madison as a nearly four touchdown favorite, No. 1 Ohio State did what it was supposed to do and blasted Wisconsin, 34-0, to improve to 7-0.
The Buckeyes defense allowed Wisconsin inside the OSU 45 yard line just once across nine possessions - coming on a meaningless final drive when the Badgers reached the OSU 25 before being turned over on downs - and pitched its second shutout so far this season.
The Ohio State running game continued its unimpressive streak but Julian Sayin and his cadre of pass catchers took up all the rushing attack's slack and then some in an outstanding performance.
